OK - I am not enjoying the earthquakes now. Very unsettling. 6th one today (apparently) and the last one was a very strong 4. They are all around Mogliano & Loro Piceno. Are they bothering anyone else more since Aquila?

Hi, I am trying to get a list of people affected by the refusal of ASUR 13 & 12 (Ascoli & San Benedetto) to give us permanent residents permanent health cover.

I heard again today that the property market is moving again here in Southern Marche. I am not talking of foreign buyers but just the general property market. Good news for us sellers!

We're letting our shop go in Sarnano. It just didn't bring us any more business so we can't justify the cost.

I went on Tusday back to try to see the director of the health authority that I had previously spoken two and who seemed to never return my calls or be there when I called. Guess what? She wasn't there!

You sound as if you are UK tax resident and so can invoice from the UK (even if the work is performed in Italy) and pay tax there. Unless you are tax resident in Italy, it should not require any official documents etc in Italy. Of course, if you are employed on a permanent contract in Italy it would be more complicated.
Yes if you can guarantee when it will arrive and the notary and vendors are happy to accept it.
Yup - probably too early for skiing (but who knows). Boxing Day living presepi in Comunanza. New Years Eve Party under the loggia in Amandola. How long are you staying? Honestly, Christmas is a bit quiet usually - sorry :-)
Not sure about it all changing 'shortly'. Does anything happen here that quickly?
We acepted a bankers draft drawn on a Belgian bank in Euros and it took 3 weeks to clear. If we had known this we would not have accepted it. I think you'll be lucky if you find anyone to accept it to be honest. There have been no issues with Italian banks here. I would transfer it.
I'm sure you're right but I won't hold my breathe. They still haven't transferred all services to Fermo from Ascoli from the creation of the new province in 2008 so nothing will happen quickly.
Have you tried Marco: http://www.tuscany-umbria-architect.com/
I read in the paper that the 13 ASUR's will be amanlgamated into 5 large super areas to save money. Part of this will mena that 6 mountain communities' that are part of Fermo will move under Fermo for healthcare. They are: Amandola/ Montefalcone/ Santa Vittoria/ Smerillo/ Montefortino and sorry - can't remember the other one. The comune's mayors are fighting this as they were not consulted and do not want Amandola hospital to become pat of Fermo. Personally I don't care which we're under so long as we get our proper healthcover!!
If your tessera (this is the white slip of paper and not the blue plastic card) has no expiry date then becoming a permanent resident will not negate that. You actually have to become one at the end of 5 years or else you are not any type of resident as your 'temporary' residency for the 1st five years expires.
Strictly speaking it was called a carta di soggiorno for EU citizens and they used to last 5 years. If you had one (which no-one arriving now will have as the rules have changed) then you have to register as resident when it expires. Even if you are already resident you have to go to the anagrafe office of the comune and register as resident. If you have been here for more than 5 years then you should register as a permanent resident as Angie has done. If you dont have a carta di soggiorno then after 5 years of residency you have to go to the comune and register as a permanent resident the same. Does that explain it?
